Now that 4th of July is over, it’s that time of the summer where I start panicking about how summer is almost over and the torturous winter will soon be back. It’s very hot and humid today- but you will not ever hear me complain about that! I don’t get people who complain about the hot weather, seriously. I soak up every ounce of sun I can get and enjoy every second of the hot weather because it’s only here for such a short time. Just thinking about the fact that winter will be here in a flash makes me sad. I cannot wait for the day I am living in San Diego. I’m getting closer to achieving that goal of moving out West, since I recently found someone who also wants to move to San Diego (neither of us want to move alone). We both need to take some time to save up more money before we make the big move, but I will definitely be using that as my motivator during the cold & snowy months. It’s going to be so much fun- 2 girls from New York making the move to Southern California! Yes, Katie, I’m talking about you 😉 beach apartment, here we come!
Anyway, since it is hot and humid during the summer here in New York, I made a cold, refreshing Chocolate Banana Protein Shake for after my workout. I used Flavorgod Chocolate Donut Seasoning in this protein shake, which is a limited edition flavor, so if you can’t get your hands on it you can add extra cacao powder and honey (if desired). Check out the recipe below!
- 1 cup full-fat coconut cream
- 1 frozen banana chopped
- 1 tbsp Flavorgod Chocolate Donut seasoning
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- 1 scoop grass-fed whey protein powder
- 1 scoop pasture-raised collagen peptides
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 4-5 ice cubes
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth
